PI89587: ABEND0C7 during XML GENERATE on SUPPRESS WHEN LOW-VALUE or HIGH-VALUE of a numeric item

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The compiler is generating code to format numeric items before
  the suppression criteria are applied, leading to data exceptions
  on numeric items that meet a suppression criterion of LOW-VALUES
  or HIGH-VALUES.
  
  This fix for this APAR will deliver the run-time support
  required for APAR PI89585.

  ****************************************************************
  The compiler was generating incorrect code for cases where XML
  text is suppressed when the data contains LOW-VALUE,
  HIGH-VALUE, or SPACES, which may result in a runtime ABEND.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated to generate the correct code for such
  cases, as part of this change, the COBOL Runtime library is
  updated to support the new compiler generated code.  See APAR
  PI89585 for the COBOL compiler change.
